Elevate the Graduate! Cake Design

Diploma? Check. Cap and gown? Check. A WOW cake at the graduation party? Check. A great way to elevate a graduation cake this season is to jump on board the maximalist trend which is more popular than ever. In the case of this trend, more is most definitely more. Begin with picking a color scheme personalized to the graduate. Here, we are going for green. Next, pile the cake high with all kinds of treats: donuts, macarons, cookies and brownies cascading on and around the cake itself. To keep this cake cohesive, keep the graduates chosen color as the icing on all of the piled-high treats to create a maximalist, yet coordinated centerpiece. Finally, add in graduation toppers to theme it up – and don’t be afraid to throw on color coordinated décor you have lying around the bakery! Here, we added some adorable succulents to incorporate the green theme. This cake will wow the graduation party in an effortless way to elevate the dessert table.
